'"Looks like the UK news has once again played the 'Video Games Will Kill Us All Card' the    Daily Mail this week had an article which cites a study from   the Indiana University School of Medicine which will be published in full at the meeting of the Radiological Society of North America next week. The study compared MRI scans on 11 men from 18 to 29 years of age playing "violent" games ten hours a day for two weeks and those who didn't. The study reported that there was a difference in the brain activity of the group that played games, and the Daily Mail jumped on those results with inflammatory language and odd viewpoint: plain and simple headline grabbing, flame   inducing   bait. The study, it must be noted, never mentions aggressive behavior but why should that stop a good headline   "Violent videogames DO make people more aggressive". It's not like the press is currently under investigation or review at all.   To me, the experiment only proves that gamers just use their brains differently. The altered brain activity does not necessarily translate into violent or aggressive behavior, and the jump to hammer home that link by the Daily Mail is what frustrates me. Terms like "anti-social behavior" and "aggressive" were never used by the study abstract and only fans the flames of the anti-gaming crowd. Come on, Daily Mail, I know you are just a tabloid, but you can do better than that. But here is brighter news - at first I thought they were 'taking the piss' but it now looks like a new game is launching which is urine controlled.

Rockstar Games has officially confirmed the existence of the long-rumored next installment in its Grand Theft Auto Series. Rather than calling it Grand Theft Auto: Duluth or Grand Theft Auto: Moon Colony Zeta, Rockstar is skipping right ahead to a nice numbered title. Better still, it looks as though you'll be able to see a trailer for the game in just a matter of days. Rockstar revealed the game's official logo on its site, along with the news that a trailer is coming November 2. That's November 2, 2011, which is just a few days from now. Surprise! While you're waiting, feel free to dissect the logo for clues. The "V" is rendered in the same engraving style featured in U.S. currency. Could this mean that the game will feature...money?

After showing Google's Music beta, now they must come up with a new Social Networking that can be used by members, that may compete with Facebook but, at the same time, is utterly different. The Google+ project will do some of the same general things as Facebook, such as sending messages to friends, sharing links, chatting, and sharing pictures, but the big difference is that with Google+, you can choose who you want to share these things with. Unlike with Facebook where posting a link will show up on your profile for all of your 500 "friends" to see, but Google+ lets you do things a little differently. Here's how Google+ works: Circles concept -a major part of Google+. This is where you choose who you want in your contacts. You can have a family Circle, a BFF Circle, a co-workers Circle, and even an "Epic bros" Circle. Google allows you to choose which people you want in what Circle. You then use those Circles for all of your Google+ activity, which we'll get into more in depth below, as Google shows in the demo video below. Sparks - a feature that lets you select certain areas, hobbies, or interests that you particularly like. They're the things you always ramble on and on about when someone brings it up at a party, like that new album by your favorite musician, or a new comic book. Google wants to keep people searching for content on its site, so Sparks helps by delivering a "field of highly contagious content from across the Internet" on any topic.

The release date of the Blackberry "Monza" to the T-Mobile world on June 29th. For precise specifications of BlackBerry Monza aren't yet available, the device includes an impressive touch-screen display which covers the entire front of the device. Behind the screen is a faster processor that improves the overall experience, while managing to reduce the thickness compared to the company's previous models. The OS has also had an upgrade, to BlackBerry OS 6.1, which introduces the requirement for users to have a BlackBerry ID to unlock the handset.
